A consideration when moving the mast position on the fuselage forward is that the effective length of the rear fuselage back to the rear stabilizing foil is increased by the distance the mast moves forward. For this reason we are introducing a new fuselage size the ‘Sillyshort’. When choosing your Advance Black Fuselage, it’s advisable to take this into consideration and perhaps opt for a length shorter than you are used to using. If you’re currently using an Ultrashort, you might consider the Crazyshort instead. Available in Ultrashort, Crazyshort and an all new Sillyshort (just 560mm). Compatible with ART and HPS wings, but also suitable for the smaller sizes in the Axis PNG and BSC wings.
Compared to the current Black Advance fuselage range, these 4 new little siblings provide a looser, faster transition from side-to-side. The sensation the Axis development team riders liked on testing it that it is similar to the sensation of moving fins forward in the tracks on a surfboard, initiating turns becomes easier which is great in surf. There is a small trade-off, this ease of turning comes as at the expense of some tracking and speed stability. So you should expect to have a small effect on upwind ability when winging and a need to adjust pumping technique slightly. If you are into ultra high speed big wave riding, you should consider the regular Black Advance or regular Black fuselages instead.
When using the Black ADVANCE+ fuselages, the mast is then set further forward on the fuselage so your baseplate position needs to be further forward in the box tracks on your board to position your front and rear wings in the same position as the normal Black fuselage
In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint, these new Black ADVANCE+ fuselages come with our new custom fuselage protective covers so no paper / cardboard boxes waste.
